Aywas is a collectible pet site for older teens and adults. Adopt as many pets as you want, and explore the seven regions of Ay for wild pets to capture and add to your collection. We are a submission-based virtual pet website, so you can color pets, create items, and create Human Avatar clothes for everyone else to enjoy. We offer battling, breeding, mini-games, an active forum, and the ability to create your own custom aywas. Color the adoptable bases, and even edit them to look more like your characters. The possibilities are endless!

Not sure if you want to join? Why not check out our newbie tutorial for an outline of our features?

Some Teo Art positions are open right now:
- $32 for a set of five Teos, released through 6 AM/PM eggs
- $50 + custom for a set of five Teos, released through May sale (bonus credit eggs)
- $15 per base uncolored for Hatching Teo Egg bases
If you have made Teos for Aywas before and would like any of the above jobs, please contact #15 with an example of Teos you've made in the past and which positions you're interested in.

Welcome to the month of March!
Where rainbows, gold, and maybe even monsters are afoot?!
First things first, let's turn over a new leaf with some lucky, golden GP Shop pets!

And grab a new BP Shop pet (or two, or nine) to help you find treasure and adventure!

If you colored one of these awesome pets, please contact Kyu (#1010) for your payment!
Make sure to include your PayPal address if you are opting for the USD option.
We will also be collecting pet PSDs directly from the thread, so you no longer have to send them in. However, please make sure you keep the links active for two weeks (at least until mid-March) so we have time to snag 'em for science!
The Essence of March 2015 will randomly change your active pet into one of the colors above. Try a spoonful and see what you get!
(Our familiar soup image will be swapped out for a saucy potion bottle in the next day or two. *wink*)
The premium monthly item is Monochrome Rocks:
Found commonly in a dark area of the rock quarry, these stones seem to be striated with a strange magic that drains the color from anything nearby. Be careful when letting pets near these! With this LBC/MBC compatible breeding add-on your offspring may find themselves a little less bright. Though these Monochrome Rocks do not give edits, they tell your breeding artist to use neutral colors (black, white, grey, brown) on the offspring.
We're trying something new with this item in particular; you can also now find Monochrome Rocks stocking in the Premium Outlet!
(If your premium expired on the 1st or 2nd and you couldn't grab the item, PM me and I'll see to it that you get your copy!)
Have a party, it's your birthday!
We are on our thirteenth Lunaris in the celtic tree zodiac series.
The Ash Lunaris is currently reigning over the skies through March 17th, then a new birthday feline will take over!

Coding CornerA monthly update from behind the scenes.
We have a lot going on behind the scenes, from tiny fixes to major projects.
Feeling lucky? You can also look forward to some St. Patrick's Day festivities later on this month. :3
"Oooh... aren't I shiny and mysterious?"
Coming up this month we have another fun and new feature for you guys. The new feature should certainly delight those of you who have always wanted to capture Ay and Ara's monsters as pets for your lair. Your wishes are not too far away, but it will require some effort to obtain. Are you up for the task?
Cheers!

Jeweled Crystal has new bases!
Jeweled Hybrid Crystal has new bases!
"The Bird" finally has a chance to enjoy the spotlight in the Rock Custom Crystal!
Enjoy!

The Mystery Box was supposed to close last night, but due to passing out before midnight, there were complications. The Mystery tickets will be available until 11:59 PM tonight. Be sure to get all orders in before then! If you processed a transaction between midnight and now and didn't get tickets, message me.
The March BP Sink event is waiting on the last few artists to finish their submissions for the event, so look forward to that launching soon! It should launch no later than Wednesday, and is most likely going to launch on Tuesday.

Just a quick note that the big monthly March news post from me should be posted tomorrow evening! :3
(So if the end of February snuck up on you, I still have the GP Shop/BP Shop/Monthly Custom submission threads open. *wink*)
